• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Are there any words that you can't stand?

Yes, and it's actually a thing to get physically ill just by hearing a certain word.

For me, those words are:
pus
spit
moist
itchy
rot(ten/ting/etc.)

This is all I can think of

Edit:
swag (omfg, I only use this sarcastically, I hate this so much though)

I hate all those obvious words like moist (but the worst is "seepage"... yuck) but a word I can't stand for no particular reason is "tender". I just hate it

It must suck when a commercial comes on and they describe their latest thing on the menu as "tendery goodness"

Derp/y,Hashtag,Bethany Mota,Lucky Star,weeaboo,Rosie,Instagram,homie,troll,And I hate it when people think their jokes are hysterical and continue repeating them until the person they target says Mhm or nods.God dang it.

Actually, add tender to my list as well. There's a brand of hot dogs in the Philippines called Tender Juicy and the way the kids in the adverts say it is just so annoying.

I sent my boss a FB message asking what to do with the beer box swag at work and like five minutes later she calls me and she's like, what is swag? I just lost it lol

I almost think of swag as exclusively meaning free stuff you get from companies like t-shirts and crap for some reason. But when people are like, oh you're so swag bro #YOLO I'm just like get out

I can't really think of any words I hate. Some of the already mentioned ones aren't great words but it doesn't bother me to hear them. One I dislike but never hear anymore is spunky. Kind of means like a rebel/free-spirited or whatever, but to me it sounds like, you smell or something. As in, "oh god the compost bin is getting spunky as hell". The word just sounds like a synonym for disgusting. I mean honestly.

maybe it's because funk sounds like spunk? idk
 
The word crazy because I'm mentally disabled. It's defined as someone who is mentally deranged, specifically a violent individual, but it's used to describe anyone with a mental illness or disability, no matter how simple or complex. When I was in high school, my brother had a friend who asked me why I was sad all the time and I reminded them that I had depression, and my brother corrected me by saying, "No, you're just freaking crazy." The word implies that being mentally ill or disabled makes one a bad person, somehow. It stigmatizes them.

I can totally relate to that. My brother has used the word "unstable" to describe me because of my anxiety/depression and it can be really hurtful. I know people don't realize they're being offensive when they call people "crazy" but they are :/
